Zachary Quinto is set to shepherd the History channel’s revival of In Search Of — the same docuseries that Leonard Nimoy famously hosted back in the 1970s.

The 10-episode series will follow in the footsteps of the original program, sharing investigations into mysteries and phenomena.

“I am so excited to be reimagining In Search Of and exploring new questions and phenomena with all of the advancements in science and technology from which we have benefited in the past 40 years since the original series first aired,” Quinto, who’s also an executive producer on the project, said in a statement. “In the spirit of my late dear friend Leonard Nimoy, we intend to honor and perpetuate his endless curiosity about the world – and universe – in which we live.”

Quinto of course previously succeeded Nimoy in the role of Spock, in the big screen’s Star Trek franchise reboot.
